There's a book that if you haven't read, I recommend for you to read by C.S. Lewis called The Problem of Pain.

In that book, he tells us that evil always manifests itself in suffering and in pain.

It is pain and suffering, actually, that causes us to ask why.

Why doesn't God just snap his fingers and evil would disappear? All of suffering would disappear, all that the pain would disappear.

The good news is that he will. One day.

It may be sooner than you think.

will disappear.

They keep on trusting God in spite of the question marks, in spite of the difficult circumstances,

because they know that all of the pain and all of the suffering is but for a moment.

But that's a megaphone that God uses to speak to believers through their pain and through their suffering, that same megaphone causes non-believers

to rebel against God and to reject God and reject that megaphone. And they question the goodness of God and the love of God.

in the angelic beings. God is the one who gave him lots of power and lots of authority.

The only thing that God did not delegate to Lucifer is his own
